Itkpdee .f hoaar .Becop,es Btehop Or
Once again Canada has reason to
be proud .of one of her Rhodes'
sehoiara. The .eareer of the Very
.+reverend .Dean, Sherman, whose.
1t,hodes'" achalarship dates hack ouly
to the year .1909, has recently Clai-
n:ivated .in his ',election to the
Biehopri,e of :Calgary, an important
diocese in western Canada. Ile will
be Canatia,s ,youngest bishop, as lie
is only .forty years, of age,
Par a .short' time he was Dean ot
Quebec and rector of the beautiful
bid historical cathedral in Canada's
city of. romance. Before that he was
rector of Holy :Trinity Church, is 'fo-,
rotate for eight,years, and it was witu
genuine regret that Toronto saw aim
.:iopart to his .new field. His brief
;7.•.'iod of work in Quebec has had—
:A) •says ,Quebec—great results in
vitalizing the .church life there. Dean
Sherman possesses some sort of
:eagle touch that 'Brings new lite to
everything he undertakes, and nis
popularity is easily understood ny
..ay one salici lkno,ws him. •
He was }coin. in Fredericton, N.B.,
and the tale runs .that •when he was
on. years old he announced to a!i
and sundry that he was going to !e,
2 bishop, He graduated from .lice
University of New 'l3runswic'k, then
%Tens to Lennoxville, ; and from thea..
to .Oxford as a Rhodes seliolar. iu
Oxford he took Ms degree with thec-
logieal honors; and was ordained
,;he ''Bishop of London.. .After a cur-
acy at the Christ Church Oxio a
sign he organized, under the dtrce,
authority of the Bishep of London
the New College Mission at Notting
Hill, London`—a real Beat London
mission. Later he returned to Hol;
Trinity Church at St. „tees, N.B., as
rector, and in 1917 he•wvent to one a4
Toronto's oldest and most interesting
churches — the Chtarch of the Hol.;
Trinity.
Now,•from ancient Quebae, he goo:
to the new country of Alberta, and.
head of the diocese of Calgary. .The
praphecy of the four-year-old boy
came true,' and Dean Sherahan wil
make good in the west, for he is s
very human personwith a great zest
for life and for his fellow -men. His
meteoric career is exactly what one
.w6exld expect frons him, but he him-
self receives every - new honor that is
offered him with great surprise. "But
there are such a lot of other men-"
is his -invariable remark,

the Art-
Wit
A.ttUntil quite recently the 'carillons
of bells that are familiar features of
Dutch and Belgian churches were the
beat -toned in the woi'.iifi.
The secret of their l,Lre note dieli.
with the old Pleua.ish masters wiz
cast them over three centuries ago.
Lately, however, scientists of tee
Oroydon tit= of 'bell.rounders anu
elockmakers, Messrs. txi.uet and
.Johnston, have rediscovered the art:
A, carillon, which costs anything
time 22,000 to £20,000, consiste ni
a set of belle ranging in numbers
from twenty-three, wiiicii embrace
two octaves, to fifty-three, with a
compass of four and a half octaves.
The bells' notes are at semi -tone in-
tervals up the musical scale, and it
is,possibie to produce on a carillon,.
which is played by one man at an
instrument similar in arrangement to
a piano, except that hand and foot.
Ievers take the . place of the ivory
keys, all the chords and arpeggios 01
a•church organ,
One .of the biggest jobs in bell -
founding tackled by this firpi was a
recent order of John: D. Rockefeller,
Jr,, for fifty-three bells to be installed
as a memorial to his mother in a
New York church. The heaviest, bell,
the Bourdon, has a weight of 9 ate
tons, while at the other end of the,
scale the . treble bell weighs hs about .15
pounds. T]ie weight of the combined.
set is 54 tons!
During a recent, visit to the Croy-
don works i' learnedfrom Mr. .Cyril
Johnston the complete process of
casting a bell, writes a Tit -Bits man,
5implY,, it is thie:
Within a metal case a loam mould
is made of the exterior of the bell,
on which any inscription or ornamen-
tation is raised; on a metal base a
second mould is built to the shape
of the bell's interior. The metal
ease is then lifted over the shaped
mould, and into the narrow space be-
tween the molten alloy of 'copper and
tin is poured. The complete appar-
atus is then left to cool; in the case
of a big bell this may take a week.
When the metal has thoroughly set
the outer casing 18 lifted away, the
eore removed from the interior, and
the bell is ready for tuning..
Ater testing, the bell is placed
mouth upwards on a revolving base
and a fine tool is run round the inner
surface. A few shavings thus remov-
ed correct any fault in the bell's note.
When the tone of the bell is finally
,approved by tuning experts, the bell
is passed into a sandblast, where it
ieeeives a dull gloks. No bells are
ever painted.
The power of certain bells is enor-
mous.
"Watch this," said Mr. Johnston.
Taking a win
e lass he
it with
his 'knuckle and placed it on a low
stool. Then he moved to a large bell
standing near. "This bell emits ex-
actly the sante note as the wineglass.
That is to say, when struck, they
both vibrate at the same rate per
secand. Now watch!"
Taking a padded mallet he struck
the bell a hard blow. A,, volume of
rich sound bellowed forth, followed
immediately by the tinkling of glass.
The wineglass, a yard away, was
shattered
"It is all a matter of resonance,"
Mr, ohnston explained; "The sound
waves travel from the bell and are
picked up by the glass, which vibrates
in sympathy; but the waves are so
powerful that the glass is not elas-
tic enough to permit the necessary
'play:' You see the result!"
Geese as Sentries.
When visiting a ftoi'ip Viitivnt sta-
bles at. Canning Teevn, LllTid.on, Ilrig.,
an official of the People's Dispensary
for Sick Animals of the Poor found
his Way barred by two large geese,
which guarded the approach. All his
efforts to pass were unavailing, and
the two "sentries" ultimately chased
him away, biting hina on the legs as
he fled.
When the owner arrived the geese
became as quiet as doves. "I've had
them for 17 years," she explained,
"and they have saved me the price
of many ' a dog license. :Besides,
Biddy still goes on laying—and you
couldn't get eggs from a bulldog."'
Improving Nora Scotia Apples.
Apple growers and shippers in. the
,Annapolis Valley are uniting in an
effort to improve the status of the
apple :industry. To this end the,,

as the Associate Committee on Apple
Growing and Marketing, which is to

ment Council acting . in conjunction
with the Provincial Department of
Natural Resources and Development,
The new group is to begin at once a
study' or how to improve the keeping:
qualities of apples in warehouse or

ALSO 2 REEL COMEDY
NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM
•
Still was the night in. Bethlehem—
Fragrant and still
And under the shag of a little hill
That sheltered theme
Drowsy and warm lay the huddled sheep,
While the sheep -boys beside them, half asleep,.
Stirred, uneasy, and seemed to keep
Watch for they not what good or ill.
Oh, still was the night in Bethlehem—
Holy and still!
Then through the dusk of the darkling night'
Through the brooding gloom,
There broke a flare, the sudden bloom
Of ineffable light;
A mighty noise -as of rushing wiugs;
And all through the dazzle and thunderings
A deep strange thrill of unspeakable things
That on earth could scarce find room:
Oh, full was the night in Bethlehem
Of glory and light!
Surprised and dazzled and sore distraught
The sheep -boys lay,
In a radiance greater than any day,
Which they fathomed not,
And they seemed to hear from a choiring throng
The rhythm of some celestial song,
Through the aethers lifted and borne along
From the deepest deeps to the faraway.
Oh, glad was the night in Bethlehem
For tile corning day!
"Glory and glory!" the voices sang,
"Glory and peace!
In a dream of unearthly harmonies
The anthem rang.
"This . night is born to the souls of men
A light that can never go out again,
Whatever tumults or woes they ken;
For this is the guerdon of Man's release!"
Oh, glory there was in Bethlehem—
Glory and peace!
Think not the evangel 'given us;
Could forfeit be,
Nor the .promise become to humanity
Less glorious;
For that peace of God is qur`heritage.
Down the centuries comes the gage,—
Freedom and power to every' age,
Beyond all dreams of mortality:
And the light shines ever from Bethlehem
Victorious!
—Julia P. Dabney.
